 Yes, Jasper, several of these tracks wound up on Allegro. The material from Rydell was mostly from his pre-Cameo recordings for the Venise and Veko labels. The Gene Pitney songs, which are quite good, were recorded for Herb Abramson just before Pitney signed with Musicor.

 This reminds me of the Allegro Records U.K. release cat # ALL 779 - it has the same Neil Sedaka and Johnny Rivers tracks along with 4 tracks by Bobby Rydell (including the rather offensive Fatty Fatty) and 2 very early Gene Pitney tracks. It has a similar front cover layout including the same Neil Sedaka image.

Good album because it contains some very rare cuts. First off, the songs by "The J Brothers" are of note to Lou Reed/Velvet Underground fans since he's part of the fictitious group and co-wrote some of the songs. Reed was working for Pickwick at the time churning out filler material for the budget label.
The two Johnny Rivers cuts were among several recorded for George Goldner's Gone label but they got lost in the shuffle when Goldner decided to give these two to the Guyden label and they got lost in the shuffle. The two four seasons tunes were also released by Goldner on the Cindy label which he co-owned with Pittsburg DJ Jay Michael. They're quite good.
Neil Sedaka's Fly, Don't Fly on Me and Ring-A-Rock are rather silly early attempts by the talented songwriter/singer and originally came out on the Legion label. None of these cuts are easy to find as singles, so it's nice to have them preserved by the budget labels. There's more info in my book, "Rock Rarities for a Song."
